LOS ANGELES — A parolee has been convicted of murder for dismembering a man's body and dumping it in two trash bins in December 2007.
Frank Ruiz had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but was convicted on Thursday. The 23-year-old is scheduled to return to court Monday for the trial's sanity phase.
Authorities say the killing of 47-year-old Patrick Moore was discovered after a cleaning woman found what appeared to be meat in plastic shopping bags in Ruiz's room, and he was told to remove it. Moore's remains were found in two trash bins at a liquor store and a drug store.
Investigators also discovered a blender containing what appeared to be human tissue.
Ruiz had previously been convicted of burglary in 2004.
